Makes plenty sense. Thanks for the feedback. Mom and Pop grocery stores here I'm NYC don't seem to know or choose not to carry it. Everything is Spring water.

Hey guys so i have a question, I have been looking into heartfelt beads since every one swears by them. I currently used Boveda packs and am happy but can only spend so much money...

So here is my question I have the El diablo humidor from Cigars International which is 18x11.25x10.25 so when calculated it comes to rounded out 2076 cubic inches. I was thinking about getting the Heartfelt stainless humidifier ( http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/proddetail.asp?prod=AH_1_65 )

Now on to the question:
photo 1.jpgphoto 2.jpg

would it be and issue for the beads to do their job? being that my box is so deep? I measured that from the most bottom point to the the top of the divider which is 3.5 inches plus to the top of the tray maybe another 4 more?

So i guess what I am asking do the beads need more air flow than the constricted space I'm giving it or would i need to move my sticks around and give it more space?

thanks guys!

How do you like them? Im about to order some tonight any suggestions? Im not sure if I should get 1/2 lb or the large tube...
They work great so far. I only have two 50cts so i got the tubes. Guess it depends on what your are humidifying.

The tubes took a few to get enough water into the beads but once i got them there they have been holding for days consistently

Yes, I would. The tubes, assuming you got enough,will maintain the rh alone. Added media (guessing its a foam type unit) will probably cause the beads to absorb humidity. I would use the beads only and charge them ass directed.
